As a woman goes through her reproductive years, she may face many different challenges and obstacles with her monthly cycle. Some women breeze through life having normal periods each month until finally menopause takes place in their 40s or 50s. Unfortunately, there are also some women who spend their reproductive years fighting off heavy bleeding and other problems associated with their menstrual cycle.

Heavy bleeding can be associated with many different causes. This condition of heavy bleeding is called menorrhagia and can be life altering for some women. The definition of heavy bleeding can vary from woman to woman, but doctors agree that if a woman is going through more than one pad or tampon an hour for several hours or experiencing extremely heavy clotting, she may have a problem with heavy bleeding. In addition, if a woman is bleeding for more than seven days, she may develop anemia due to menorrhagia.

Heavy bleeding is certainly something that no woman wants to experience for years on end. Not only is it life altering, but it can cause anemia. Anemia can lead to other health problems and symptoms that a woman does not need to live with on a daily basis. This is why so many women have decided to move on to endometrial ablation as an option for stopping the heavy bleeding when other efforts fail.

Endometrial ablation is a procedure that is done by a gynecologist where the lining of the uterus is removed. Obviously, this either eliminates or greatly reduces the bleeding a woman is experiencing each month during her period. It also treats the anemia since the woman will not be losing blood the way she has been in the past.

One thing the woman must consider before having this procedure is whether or not she's finished having children. The reason for this is because most doctors will also recommend a tubal ligation be done.

Doctors are trying to prevent the woman from the possibility of pregnancy with the complications this can cause after an endometrial ablation. Even though the lining of the uterus has been removed, sometimes women are still able to get pregnant. Since the sperm fertilizes the egg inside the fallopian tubes and not the uterus, this is possible.

The problem is when an embryo manages to attach to the uterine wall perhaps in a spot where the endometrium was not completely removed. This can cause problems as the fetus develops potentially endangering both it and the mother. Much depends upon how much uterine lining is left.

If a woman resumes her periods at some point after an endometrial ablation then it is possible she can very well get pregnant. If she has gone through with a tubal ligation to prevent this from happening, then she may wish to seek a tubal ligation reversal in order to allow her the opportunity to get pregnant.
